ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MICROWAVE PLASMA ENHANCED COATING OF CARBON NANOTUBE RIBBONS

摘要

CNT arrays were synthesized by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and spun into ribbons, which were coated using Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Plasma system. Time-ofFlight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) characterization of CNT ribbons indicated the presence of polymer films with CF2 as a repeat unit. Atomic concentration of C, F and O in the coated films was estimated from X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) data. Types of bonding between the elements in the coated films was studied by curve fitting of C ls XPS spectra.
